"Well, Charles good morning," said she, in a bland voice. "I'm glad to see you here so soon. Has he had his breakfast, Aunt Rachel?" "Yes; and he eat like a wild animal I never see'd a child eat more in my life," was Aunt Rachel's abrupt answer. "I'm glad he has a good appetite," said Mrs. Thomas, "it shows he has good health. Boys will eat; you can't expect them to work if they don't.
Touchett nay, even her tastes as to the Invalid's letters in the "Traveller's Review," remained only partially revealed, in spite of Rachel's best efforts at fishing, and attempting to set the example. "It really seemed," as she observed to Grace, "as if the more I talk, the less she says."
He had hinted, beyond the possibility of mistaking him, that he suspected her of being the thief. We were all equally astonished at hearing this, and we all asked, Why? "'Because the Diamond was in Miss Rachel's sitting-room," Penelope answered. "And because I was the last person in the sitting-room at night!"
Rachel's love of piano music was not indiscriminate, and concentrated itself chiefly on selections rendered by her idolised offspring, Moritz and Augusta, who, to do them justice, played remarkably well. The Klammersteins were deservedly popular as Christmas guests; they gave expensive gifts lavishly on Christmas Day and New Year, and Mrs.

"'Twarn't a cow, please, sir," replied Dan, timidly. "'Twere a ghost." "Whose ghost?" returned Lionel. Dan hesitated. He stood first on one leg, then on the other. "Please, sir, 'twarn't Rachel's," said he, presently. "Whose then?" repeated Lionel. "Please, sir, mother said I warn't to tell you. Roy, he said, if I told it to anybody, I should be took and hanged."
"No, indeed," Bessie answered, respecting Rachel's gesture of refusal; "no one is to infringe her incog, under penalty of never coming here again." "You are going?" he added to Bessie; "indeed, that was what brought me here.
